Harriet Tubman was a woman born into slavery who managed not only to find her own freedom, but to lead over 300 slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad. She had two parents and 3 brothers, also slaves and helped lead them to freedom. She was regarded as Moses for leading her people to freedom
I think slavery is one of the saddest things to talk about in American history. It's sad that it took a whole war to end it and sad that we had to fight about it in the first place. I think the tone of the book is hopeful despite all the sadness. Harriet's point of view is very faithful in God.
For extensions, we could map the Underground Railroad. We could also put together a play as a tribute to Harriet Tubman's life. We could also each pick a slave and do research on how they lived, if they escaped,their family, etc.
